About the journal and this site
British Postgraduate Musicology is a peer-reviewed journal run by postgraduates for postgraduates. It began in October 1997 as a print publication (ISSN 1460-9231), under the editorship of Benjamin Davies. After three volumes, the editorship was passed to Nicholas Reyland, who was instrumental in transferring BPM from print to online publication in 2001. After three further volumes he was succeeded by the journal’s current editor, Tim Rutherford-Johnson.
This site includes the full text of the current volume of British Postgraduate Musicology, as well as back issues from volume four onwards. Contents pages for volumes one to three are also available here, and a limited number of copies of these volumes are available for sale. Please see the back issues page for more details.
Current postgraduate students wishing to submit an article for publication should refer to the contribute page.
How to cite BPM
Citation of British Postgraduate Musicology follows that for any other online journal publication. The volume number and date of publication may be found on the index page of any volume, links to which may be found on the article page itself. As with all citations to online resources, the date of last access should be incorporated into the citation; very occasionally changes are made to articles or the website’s directory structure so this date is important. With allowance for the particular style guide you use, citations of BPM articles should look something like this:
